Generate Simple Twilio Apps with TwiML Builder

Developer and DOer Matthew McConnell thought it would be helpful to have a click, drag and drop UI to make TwiML documents. So one weekend he built it – meet TwiML Builder, an handy tool that let’s you build, host and share your TwiML documents in a cool dashboard interface.

Matthew is a PHP developer based in Blackpool, England with ten years of web development under his belt. He’s a keen contributor to FuelPHP and loves to “create great web apps, hopefully making life easier.”

We ask Matthew what his inspiration was to build his own TwiML doc solution:

“To be honest, I came across Twilio via a server monitoring software package. I did some research and thought it was a really great service.

I am a minor contributor to the PHP framework called FuelPHP, so I decided to write a package to access Twilio services and generate TwiML.

After that, I thought it would be good to have a click/drag/drop UI to make Twiml documents. So on July 6th at about 10pm, I decided to do it and by Sunday, it was online and working.”

TwiML Builder is not useable (Twitter oauth problem) and the owner does not respond to emails or tweets. I’d love to use it as I’m not a programmer. Do you guys know anything more about it? Know of any other similar service?

Stefan, I ran into the same problems with Twitter Oauth along with a “Warning! Something has gone wrong” when I skipped past the authentication to the builder tool. I did some digging around the web and on GitHub for a similar tool but it looks like there isn’t a drag-and-drop TwiML service quite like it out there.
